2 Claims.

This invention relates to a sofa, and has for its principal object theprovision of a single, unitary piece of furniture which will serve as asofa and two end tables.

Another object is to so construct the device that the sofa and the armsthereof will be deeply upholstered, and the table tops will have asmooth, hard surface for solidly supporting any desired articles.

A still further object is to so construct the table tops that they willbe surrounded by raised upholstery to prevent lamps and other articlesfrom being accidentally displaced therefrom.

Other objects and advantages reside in the detail construction of theinvention, which is designed for simplicity, economy, and efficiency.These will become more apparent from the following description.

In the following detailed description of the invention, reference is hadto the accompanying drawing which forms a part hereof. Like numeralsrefer to like parts in all views of the drawing and throughout thedescription.

In the drawing:

Fig. l is a perspective view of the improved sofa;

Fig. 2 is a back view thereof;

Fig. 3 is an end view thereof; and

Fig. 4 is an enlarged, detail, cross-section, taken on the line 4-4,Fig. 1.

The improved sofa consists of an upholstered seat portion In extendingat its extremities beneath inverted, L-shaped arm portions II. Anupholstered back portion l2 extends along the rear edge of the seatportion l between the two arm portions II. A table top [3 is indentedinto the top of each of the arm portions I l.

The entire structure is supported on an integral framework 14 whichsupports a top board l beneath the top of each of the arm portions. Thetable tops l3 may be of any desired material, such as plywood, glass ormirror mounted directly upon the boards I 5.

The borders of the tops of the arms are padded, as shown at I8, thepadding being continued downwardly on the inside of the arms to the seatportion in, and on the outside of the arms to the floor line.

The padding is covered by means of cover material ll extending upwardlyand inwardly over the padding l6, and terminating around the peripheryof the table top 13, to which the cover material is attached 'by meansof suitable ornamental upholstery nails or tacks IS.

The seat portion III is supported on cross supports 19 and consists ofthe usual Webbing and burlap bottom 20 supporting seat springs 2| andpadding 22 over which the cover material of the seat extends, as shownin Fig. 4.

It can be seen that the above construction provides two solid, smooth,level table tops 13 2 for supporting table lamps or any other desiredarticles. The rigidity of the table tops is not affected by the use ofthe seat portion ill, as the latter is not connected in any way with thetable tops. The border of padding around the table tops preventsaccidental displacement of lamps and other articles thereon.

While a specific form of the improvement has been described andillustrated herein, it is to be understood that the same may be varied,within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from thespirit of the invention.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed and desired securedby Letters Patent 1. A sofa comprising: an upholstered seat portion; anarm portion at each extremit of said seat portion, each of said armportions extending upwardly at an end of said seat portion, thenceextending inwardly over the extremity of said seat portion; a top boardsupported in said arm portions, said board extending over theextremities of said seat portion and outwardly therefrom; a table top ofless area than said top board mounted on the mid-portion of the latter;and padded upholstering extending upwardly on the front, back, and sidesof said arm portions, thence extending inwardly over said top board andterminating about the periphery of said table top.
